Neither the Pushkin monument near which Vadim meets Dora (see below), nor the Tsarskoselski Statue of a rock-dwelling maiden who mourns her broken but still brimming jar (reproduced in one of my earlier posts) is made of stone (as suggested by Jansy Mello). The literary critic should note that "bronze" is not "marble" (as VN points out in his EO Commentary in connection with Nina Voronskoy, "that Cleopatra of the Neva").
